A popular remedy to support fasting

Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) is a magnesium salt of sulphuric acid. Glauber's salt (sodium sulfate) was discovered by the German doctor, pharmacist and chemist Johann Rudolph Glauber in the 17th century. He made it out of table salt and sulphuric acid. Colloquially, it is known as sulphuric natron or Schuessler salt No. 10.

Epsom salts and Glauber's salt have similar properties. Both bind water in the intestines which increases the liquid content.
